By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, About.com

With this easy, traditional recipe, it is easy to make your own strawberry vinegar at home for use on fruits, salads, or in vinaigrette. Great for kitchen gifts.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 quarts distilled white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 quart (4 cups) strawberries, washed, hulled and lightly crushed (may use frozen berries)

Preparation:

Heat vinegar to the boiling point.

Place the cleaned strawberries in a heat-proof lidded container and cover with the hot vinegar. Sprinkle with the sugar, cover, and store in a cool, dark place (a cellar or in the back of a bottom cabinet away from appliances is ideal) for two weeks.

Filter the strawberry vinegar through cheesecloth into sterilized glass jars or bottles, seal, and store in a cool, dark place or refrigerate.

Yield: about 3 quarts
